Rice farmers in regions Two and Six are still dissatisfied and continue to agitate for higher prices from millers for their paddy with farmers at Black Bush Polder in their third day of protest. They argue that the current prices offered would put them out of business.
The protest along the Black Bush Polder main access road in Region Six continued into its third day with rice farmers calling for a meeting with President Irfaan Ali or Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo to air their concerns as it relates to the reduction of paddy price.
The protest which initially started in Black Bush Polder (BBP) ended up along the Number 43 Public Road as the rice farmers from BBP ventured to the main access road in an effort to gain more attention yesterday afternoon.
